Great Basin National Park is one of the more remote national parks in the lower 48 states, but it's got its unique appeal. Bristlecone Pines, Lehman Caves. and dark sky at night are the main attractions. These attractions with the majestic Wheeler Peak, are well worth the visit, especially given the sparse crowd.
Check out the top, must-see sights at Great Basin National Park in this video.

Nice description of Great Basin National Park. It is remote, but it is worth the drive. I would comment where at the 8:20 mark he describes Hwy 50, also known as "the Loneliest Road in America" as straight, flat and nothing but sagebrush, a "boring" drive. Having driven that highway many times, yes it is lonely because there are few towns. However it is anything but flat. Rather is a series of basins, bisected by mountain ranges running north/south. Travelling across the Silver State you'll see pinyon pine, if your lucky mustangs and pronghorn antelope, and of course Nevada's state flower, the ubiquitous sagebrush. As someone told me once, to find beauty in this mountain bisected desert, you must appreciate God's earth tones.

I would have loved to see wild Mustangs!! We traveled from Salt Lake City on Highway 50 and it was pretty flat. I see from the maps that travel west from Baker goes through some mountain ranges running north-south so I can see Highway 50 would be more interesting going west from Baker.

Yes. It's a long drive to get to, but you do feel like you are away from it all. I was really looking forward to the dark sky while we were there but we were unlucky to have a couple of cloudy nights so no stars for us during this trip 😟

Wow!! only four left on the much bigger list!!! There is so much to see! We have 4 parks in Alaska (the four you can't reach by road), American Samoa, and Virgin Islands left. That must have been so much fun to not only see the National Parks, but all the units managed by NPS. I subscribed to you channel as well and started to look at the videos. Great videos !

Journey to All National Parks Are you a member of Park Stamps.org? Could possibly hook up with someone there to share the cost. We have finished all the ones you have yet to visit so feel free to ask questions about visiting. If you tent camp, Katmai (my fav of all) - you can stay for $10 per night. And it is the fly out place to Aniakchak

@@NationalParksExplorers Thanks! will check out the site. Katmai is our next park in July, 2019. Had to get into the "lottery" back in December, 2017 to get a room at Brooks Lodge during July 4th. Very much looking forward to it!! There is a live cam that can be mesmerizing to watch when the salmons are jumping. It's not active now (Nov. 2018) because the bears are sleeping but check it out in the spring. explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls

I liked your coverage of Great Basin, one of my favorite National Parks. There is also a guided hike to the Glacier, a little higher up in the Snake Range. You mentioned the lower part of the Park and the surrounding area as lonely and boring, which it certainly is. In the lower reaches of the Park, [[ down in the sagebrush ]] there are wild horses, although they are seldom seen. Also, during the warm summer months, there are fireflies to be seen there at night. One of the very few places in the West I've ever seen them.

Along hwy 50, about halfway from the Park to civilization, there is a turn-off on a dirt road labelled "U-dig Trilobites". We highly recommend doing that, bit its a long and dusty drive. I also really liked the trail to Stella Lake besides the Bristlecone Pine trail, which was awesome.

We were there around 9/20 and the leaves are beautiful golden color in the upper parts of the park near the peak. The lower parts were still green. I'd imagine late Sept / early Oct would be a great time to go. See the pictures at around the 6:50 mark of the video for what it looked like on 9/20.

I disagree with the drive! I LOVE Highway 50!! It's amazingly beautiful! The highways in Nevada are immaculate and if you take the time to look, there is a lot to see!! Maybe if you would have stopped to check out some of the sights along the way, you would have been surprised. The Nevada desert is incredible! Great Basin is best for hiking, trail running and camping because it's so quiet!

Absolutely agree that Great Basin is underrated. The mountain, the cave, and the trees, not to mention the hikes. It feels far from bigger cities but it's really not THAT far.

@@JourneytoAllNationalParks do you think the shield formations happened when the cave was formed and minerals were layered or deposited upwards instead of downwards. This could only happen rapidly and under immense temperatures and a fully submerged fissure. Then, the formations would be a few thousands years old, not millions, and we only know stalagmites take a century to grow a few inches because there's no more plate movement forcing water and minerals into concentrated streams
